In reply to luvox/caffeine, posted by crazyjoe on July 23, 2011, at 22:00:19

The interaction between caffeine (also cola and other caffeinated drinks!) is major and not something to be taken lightly. It was overlooked and is still overlooked by a majority of doctors. The Dutch PI sheet has added a warning about the interaction since several years and mentions caffeine poisoning as a possibility.
The interaction occurs even with low doses.
I myself am on 50mg of Luvox and have gotten used to drinking about four cups of coffee a day. This roughly equals twenty cups of coffee for a person not on Luvox. I am severely caffeinated all through the day! And I like it.

But I have been on high dose Luvox years ago, and back then drinking coffee scared the sh*t out of me because it induced instant ear-ringing (tinnitus).... It still does, but I don'\t care anymore.


Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, methylphenidate 30-90mg, flupentixol 1mg. PRN: oxazepam 5-20mg or other benzo's.
